Super Soaker Championship is a German multiplayer arena-shooter published in 2006 by Helles Köpfchen, made for Windows XP. The game was made as a non-violent alternative to first-person shooters for kids. There were four different characters to choose from; Mr. Wolf, Grandma Gertrude, Lisa, and Chris.
In 2009, the game was removed from Helles Köpfchen's website, and a notice was added saying that a new game replacing SSC would come soon, named Wasserschlacht 2009. They published screenshots of the new game, and after a closed beta lasting from August 2009 to June 2010, the game was never mentioned again.
Due to the official download page being inaccessible, and all other download sources of the game being dead, the game was considered lost. Only a few videos of Super Soaker Championship were uploaded onto YouTube.[1] [2] The email linked in the description of the first video is unreachable.
A gallery containing screenshots of the game was found on the German site Netzwelt.de.[3]
On March 14th, 2023, the user isoaker from the WaterWar.net forum was contacted by Timo after a post from August 26th, 2006, mentioning the game was found. On March 18, isoaker uploaded the setup file to his website.[4] The setup file contained the first released version of the game (dated August 1, 2006) with the map Granada included, out of three total maps released in the game's lifetime (the others being Die Insel and Die Fabrik). The game however is unplayable due to the MasterServer and PatchServer being offline since 2009.
